美しき顔を沼の面から突出してはいるものの
やはり、どこかありきたりな美しさ。
その首から下の隠された大部分は
おそらく醜く、
なぜそこまで
いつか沼は涸かれる。
やがて干からび、屍となる定め。
いやでも総身を白日のもとに捨て置かれ
堆積した
それは膿み爛れ腐り崩れ
周囲に異臭まき散らし
おぞましき虫ども
うじゃうじゃ這いまわる
ついには見るも無残。
ああ、その薄皮のごとき仮面もはがれ落ちん。
Swamp as a Symbol
Although the beautiful face protrudes
from the surface of the swamp,
it is still somehow ordinary beauty.
Most of the hidden below the neck is probably ugly,
chipped and unclean.
Why do you trim the exterior so far?
Someday the swamp will dry up.
Eventually it will dry out and become dead.
Even if you don't like it,
you have to throw away
your whole body under the sun,
exposing the inner humiliation.
It's a house where the pus rots and rots,
scatters strange smells around it,
and crawls a lot of terrible insects.
At last, there is nothing left to see.
Ah, the mask like that skin peeled off.
